James Book Assignment
James 3
Lauryn:
This chapter represents self control to me. I often say things with my mouth, that can do alot of damage. Even though our mouth is so small; it can hurt people, and damage relationships. This encouraged me to always try to watch what i say, and think before i speak. James 3:6: And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is full of wickedness that can ruin your whole life. It can turn the entire course of your life into a blazing flame of destruction, for it is set on fire by hell itself.
James 3:13: If you are wise and understand God's ways, live a life of steady goodness so that only good deeds will pour forth. And if you don't brag about the good you do, then you will be truly wise! People often try to make a show of the "good deeds" they do, or the acts of kindness they show. this chapter shows us that this is not wise. We should strive to do all of these things, but not make a show out of it. It also says not to brag about being wise, because that is the worst kind of lie. We should use our hearts and minds and always make wise desicions.
Jealousy and selfish ambition will always make us fall. This chapter is definitely an "ouch" chapter. It lets us know the consequences for the choices we make. I should defintely try to strive for excellency always. I should never be satisfied with complacentcy. this also encourages me to examine my own heart, and see the things that arent what they should be. And try my best to fix them and lead a holy and blameless life. :)
Mikki:
In james 3 God speaks to us about many things. But one thing that stood out to me was james 3:7-8 People can tame all kinds of animals and birds and reptiles and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is an uncontrollable evil, full of deadly poison. this tells us that we should hold out tounge.
This verse also stood out because it says that man can do many things but we can not hold our tounge everytime we speak. God commands us in his word that the tounge is the deadliest thing. And its also proven that its the strongest muscle in the body. We should always think before we speak.

Hebrews Book Assignment
Hebrews 12
Lauryn:
Hebrews 12 is definitely an ouch chapter. James is telling us the things that we dont want to hear. He is teaching us to love discipkine, and live blameless and holy in Gods sight. These are hard things to hear. They wake you up to the truths that we so often put aside. Hebrews 12 really got me thinking.
God tells us to love discipline. Though that is hard to do, its true. We should love when God corrects us because as he said in Hebrews 12:6: The Lord punishes those that he loves. This really stuck out to me, and it makes me think differently about the Lord correcting me when im wrong. We should rejoice, because God is just showing us how much he loves us.
Perhaps the best scripture that stuck out to me was, Hebrews 12:14 (Try to live in peace with everyone, and seek to live a clean and holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the lord. This showed me how I should model the way I live. I really loved this scripture, but more importantly this chapter. It has encouraged me to live in a way that I glorify god in everything that I do. Also, knowing that if i dont try to lead a blameless life, i will not see God. That is a scary thought. But it makes me want to be a better person.
Mikki:
Hebrews is a wonderful book it teaches us alot.
Jesus talks much of the angels that are in heaven.
In hebrews 1:7 is says.... Regarding the angels, he says,“He
sends his angels like the winds,his servants like flames of fire.”
This really stood out to me because his angels we made to serve him
like we as his children were.
God also encourages us that we are safe and that he will protect us
through whatever we go through. In hebrews 13:5 we can see this...
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,
“I will never fail you.I will never abandon you..” We see that God will never
leave us nor forsake us. He will always here no matter what.
In hebrews we see that God uses his angels not only to protect us but
also to serve him as well. We also see that God DOES protect us from all harm
because we are his chilren. I like the book of Hebres it is very encouraging!

Titus 3
Titus 3
Lauryn: This chapter is rich with wisdom. Paul is telling the people to be obedient. Under all circumstances, be obedient. We often find this a hard thing to do, but why? I realized that obedience should be easy, and a habit, not somthing we have to work and remember to do. It should be automatic. Also, he tells of Gods undying love for us. Which is an amazing and beautiful thing. This chapter was very encouraging. :)
Mikki: Titus 3 reminds us as believers to obey God and His law. It also warns us in Titus 3:9-11 to stay aways from those who do not believe and who deliberatly disobey God and his laws. 9 Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees[b] or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time. 10 If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. 11 For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them. We may not relize that Titus is a good Book and gives us great advice but it does!
